I never buy a car through a "standard" saleperson. I go through internet Sales dept. Each employee in the internet/fleet sales dept sells 5 times more cars than the avg salesman working at the same dealership. They are the high volume, low profit branch of the sales dept. The "regular" sales guys are the high profit/low volume variety.
I used to work at a Honda dealership as a salesman. I know my price, I stick to it, and I iron out all the details on the phone before I even go in. Last 3 cars I bought I was in and out in about an hour. Heck, when I arrived to buy my SI, the car was detailed, all stickers removed, and ready to drive away in the Customer Vehicle Delivery zone.
Moral of the story is: You can give a salesperson info, without giving up a good deal. Also...moral # 2, go through the internet sales dept, your life will be much easier.

No I know that is exactly what I did over the phone the problem is the guy I was scheduled stepped out I guess partially my fault for not calling in saying I was on my way. So I spent the better half of the night talking to some guy who was awful at sales. I spoke with the other Chris this morning and were going from there.
He's extremely pissed off at the sales guy I had to deal with I showed him this story.
